This, the second Star Class, was not delivered until 14 months after the North Star. It had smaller 6ft 6in wheels, as had been intended when it was constructed for the New Orleans Railway; the wheelbase was 12ft 6in.

The Morning Star is also the planet Venus, which is the brightest object in the sky in the morning.

This locomotive was built with 15½ × 18in cylinders. It was rebuilt as a 4-2-2T tank locomotive. A polar star is one that appears over the North (i.e. Polaris) or South Pole and is thus used in navigation.

Red Star (1840 - 1865)

This locomotive was rebuilt as a 4-2-2T tank locomotive. A red star could be a red dwarf or a red giant.

Rising Star (1840 -1871)

This locomotive had a 14ft 6in wheelbase; at some time it was rebuilt as a 4-2-2T tank locomotive. On 7 September1841 it ran over an earthslip near Chippenham, but the rest of the train, including Tiger was derailed.

A Rising Star is one that is climbing the sky, and is often used metaphorically to mean someone who is rising above evryone else.

Royal Star (1841 - 1871)

This locomotive was built with 15½ × 19in cylinders and a 12ft 7in wheelbase. The four Persian royal stars are Aldebaran, Regulus, Antares, and Fomalhaut, guarding the four sides of the sky.

Shooting Star (1841 - 1871)

This locomotive was rebuilt as a 4-2-2T tank locomotive. A Shooting Star is otherwise known as a meteor.

Western Star (1841 - 1866)

This locomotive was built with 15½ × 19in cylinders and a 12ft 7in wheelbase. After withdrawal it was used as a stationary boiler at Oxford. The Western Star is Antares.

Replica

It made use of some of the parts of the original North Star, scrapped as recently as 1906, but is not capable of being steamed. Although it featured in the railway's centenary film in 1935, it was pushed by another locomotive.
